Title: Chapter 2

"‘Cause if you don’t, you gone need Allah, Muhammad, and Jesus to save you from me.”

This. Mrs. Kourosh wold do well to heed this warning. Pearl ain't havin' it. She is a mess. I love her. I was holding my breath along with Joss just waiting for Pearl to go all "Pearl" on that ole battle ax. Pearl showed much more restraint than I expected. But she loves her baby and knew how important this was for her. So, she kept herself in check. But she wouldn't be Pearl, if she didn't say something. Loved the whole meeting. 

Great update, Chica.

Title: Chapter 2

Thanks much for this chapter. When I came on the site and realise you had updated the story I couldnt help but feel like I got my Xmas gift, JJax. 

As usual well done. You have brought some really great characters to life, but none as precious as Pearl. A warrior of a woman who guards over the daughter that she loves fiercely. Mrs Kourush will do well to heed her advice. But there is this side of me wishing you wouldnt make her heed Pearl's words, just to see where you would take their encounter. This wedding should be a scream!

Title: Chapter 1

So glad you're back with a sequel! Yea!  Just finished B&B on Friday and absolutely loved every single written word of it. I've read so many stories and especially on this site where the male protagonist is a "alpha" emotionally unavailable man and basically controls every move of the female protagonist, so Eshan was a nice change in direction because he's sweet, has morals and ethics and wants to uphold them, is a protector, and he's not overbearing or tries to emotionally blackmail Joss. Love Joss as well. So thank you for creating these likable and relatable characters that make you root for them.

I can see where Eshan's mom is coming from in wanting the best for her son, and wants to uphold the traditions in their culture and religion, I get all of that, however, not willing to give Joss a chance and basically calling her a whore...yeah conquering that mountain is going to be a tough one. Yes, Joss and Eshan come from different religious and cultural backgrounds, and they'll experience problems, but would they be that much different from two people who share the same race and religious beliefs? So I'm looking forward to if they will ever make it to an alter and if Eshan's mom will ever come around. Thanks for writing this sequel!



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you liked B&B.  I love writing my angsty tales, but had fun creating something lighter with a more balanced relationship.

Differences in race and religion, like most things, have the potential to both unite and divide.  It's clear that Mrs. Kourosh has chosen to make it the latter.  We'll see how that affects Eshan and Joss and their journey to the altar, or sofreh-ye aghd.

So glad that you're back with a part 2! I love Joss and Eshan so much! I can't wait to see how they negotiate finally having a public relationship. 



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you've enjoyed the characters.  Negotiating the treacherous waters that are his mother's hatred will be a tricky situation for Joss.  We'll soon see how she fairs.  Thanks for reading and commenting, Little Tree.

Yeah you back AND with more!!! I understand that you cant help who you fall in love with but would I be willing to take on what Joss is about too? I think I would not. Man, I can go back and forth on this one so I'm going to end it here. LUV IT!!



Author's Response:

Joss is in a very tough spot with Mrs. Kourosh's hostility toward her.  We'll see how she navigates through it or if she even can as the story progresses.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, AD!

Ohhh how I loathe his mother.  I think the father can come around  but ohhhh the mother.  I feel like more of Eshan's personality and charm is prevalent in this story. I am loving how sweet he is with her. I hope she doesn't cower to this woman. I am so happy for the continuation of this couples story.



Author's Response:

Mrs. Kourosh is worthy of contempt.  You will get to see more of Eshan's romantic side now that he and Joss have decided to pursue a relationship and are no longer keeping it a secret.  More on Joss's reaction next chapter.  Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, Acdromance!

Yesssssssssssssssssss!!!! ESHAN back!! I've missed them so much!! You have no idea. Okay now it's time to get serious. 

Ummmmmm....Eshan's mother is a complete bitch. Like seriously. that was so rude of her to do that to Joss. So I'm guess she is going to be my new Shara. I don't think I spelled her name right, but you know who I mean. She is already on my list.

 Now Eshan's father I like him! He was nice and sweet. I could rock with him. 

And Eshan is still the same. I felled in love with Eshan all over again. Lol

Can't wait for the next update!♥



Author's Response:

Lol.  Yes, I think Mrs. Kourosh is on everyone's list.  Mr. Kourosh has created a good first impression, but you'll get a better picture of how he really feels next chapter.  And Eshan is still my boo too.  I'm so excited you're in for this ride with me.  It'll be short, but hopefully enjoyable.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Treale!!!

Title: Chapter 1

I understand the mother's desire for the best for her son, but to judge before knowing is not acceptable.  She has blinders on regarding faith.  I would question how much she is aware of Christianity because no one is allowed to judge someone, only God has that right.  God is also forgiving when one recognizing one's sins, so she is being honest and truth to her faith.  She was raised appropriately as  her son has bucked against "tradition", can he be tarnished with the same breath.  Let's be real, she had no intentions of accepting her.  That was evidenced by her demeanor and lack of looking at her.  Please let Eshan and Josie show her the power of LOVE despite differences and religious beliefs.  As I once heard someone say " culture gets in the way of relationships"



Author's Response:

You are right.  Mr. Kourosh has a poor understanding of Joss and her faith.  But unfortunately, she's not open to getting to know her.  I think cultural diversity in a relationship is a beautiful, enriching thing.  It's when dogma and notions of cultural superiority rear their ugly head that the problems come in.  We'll see if that's Joss and Eshan's downfall.  Thanks for reading and commenting, Lajack!

His mother is evil, how could utter such nonesense about Joss when she just met her?  I hope the Joss tells Eshan about that conversation because he needs to know.  His father seems genuinely nice and appears to like Joss. I hope that their relationship can survive their families. I need a HEA!



Author's Response:

Eshan's mother is a special case.  The aftermath of that faithful conversation and Mr. Kourosh's impression of Joss are coming up in the next chapter.  As for a HEA...that's remains to be seen.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Pam!
